Sorry guys, seem to have missed these replies.

Col, it's Patons Wool Blend Aran (63% wool/37% acrylic) shade 11. I just looked on ebay for something close to the Chadwicks. PM me your address and I'll send you some if you want.

Fred, they didn't work. Perhaps I should sell a rod to get some Chadwicks  :lol:

Don, canny beat a bung!  :lol:

A wee variation of you know what that is good for broonies. Only thing that spoils the tying(other than it is a PR, thought I would get that in before the unwashed & unbelievers chipped in) is the wing is a bit out of line though proportion is good.
